Ipod causes programs to slow and won't connect

When i plug my ipod into my computer the screen says do not disconnect and then on my itunes i will be listening to a song and it will continue to play but the bar that tells the time will stay frozen. It used to do that and then it won't unfreeze and send the songs to the iPod. Now, it just stays frozen and nothing happens. My ipod charges up but the computer seems to realize it is attached or something. I had a previous 20 gb with the same problem but that was cause the hard drive was old. This one is only 3 months old and now the same things are happening and it is making me depressed. I've tried putting it into disk mode, nothing happens. I've tried restoring the ipod but when i plug it in to restore everything just freezes and nothing happens until i unplug it. I dropped it a little while back and the cover on it shifted, and after that it stopped working. I don't know what to do, should i pop the cover and look inside to see if it is damaged or if some parts aren't touching or something? Please help me, i'm gonna freak if i can't get this stupid thing to work.

I fixed it! I had to switch the hold button from on to off to on again and then held the menu and middle button down at the same time. It works just fine now!

  • Ipod stuck in lock mode and won't connect to Windows computer

    My Ipod is stuck on the lock position and won't connect to my computer when I plug it in. The hold switch moves back and forth just fine and it was working perfectly yesterday. It's the classic nano that's square. It's stuck on a song that I used as my alarm yesterday morning. I haven't turned it on since then and when I pushed the on switch, it went to the screen but then wouldn't do anything else. I've tried to hold down the menu and middle button while moving the hold switch, but it didn't work. Please help!

  • IPod erased music by itself and won't connect to PC.

    I believe it's a fourth generation iPod photo, and it's been in and out of the shop for a couple of years, making that clicking sound, freezing randomly mid-song, things like that. It always comes back negative that anything's wrong it, though clearly something is. My warranty at the store I bought it from ran out, and now I am stuck. It froze again, and I usually reset it. Now it doesn't show my music, it only shows the language setup. I tried connecting it to my computer the other day to reformat it, but iTunes said it was "corrupt" and couldn't find the file to install. I got the newest iTunes, I restarted my computer, I checked everything for viruses... still no luck. It stopped being recognized by my computer altogether. I looked all over the forums for any hint or help, but all of it required a software reformat, but my computer won't even converse with the iPod anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't exactly afford a new iPod soon! Thanks in advance!

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

  • IPod 4 Stuck in recovery and won't connect to iTunes??????

    Last night my iPod just randomly crashed. When I tried to power it back on, it went into recovery. I tried connecting it to iTunes but it won't show up as my device being there. Help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod touch Gen4 is locked and won't connect to iTunes?

    My son's newly purchased iPod Touch 4th Gen was given a lock code by him.  He messed around with it in his sleep and locked it so that it needs reconnected to iTunes.  However, when I try to connect to iTunes, it says that the iPod lock is keeping it from connecting to iTunes.  Help?

  • IPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

    My daughter's iPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

    VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
    To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

  • My 2 month old Iphone is losing it's mind.  It's randomly turning on Voice Command and calling people or turning on the IPod.  It freezes up and won't let me go back to the home screen.

    My 2 month old IPhone started randomly turning on Voice Command and calls people and turns on the IPod.  It freezes up and won't let me push the home button.  Any suggestions?

    OK, I reset it several times and it worked fine all day yesterday.  Today when I turned on the bluetooth it went back to the same problem.  Voice Control comes on and the home button won't work at all.  I have gone through the reset many times and it isn't working.  How do I restore firmware as you suggested? 

  • My ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps what should I do ?

    my ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps and close the when i am working on them what should I do ?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Next try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                
    iOS: How to back up                            
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Itunes Freezes ,slow and won't allow search

    When i start itunes it freezes momentarily, is very slow and won't allow me to put more than two letters in Search box before freezing. Everything else runs on pc fine.
    Anybody any ideas? Using 10.2.1.1 but I've installed different versions but same problems.
    Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me nuts!

    Good old fashioned XP. I run it on other pc's with XP with no problems. Tried running various old versions but no luck. I'm sure it must be blindingly obvious to somebody who knows what they're doing!

  • What can we do if the home button of my ipod is working very slow and if my ipod is still in warranty and by the way i have an ipod touch 4

    what can we do if the home button of my ipod is working very slow and if my ipod is still in warranty and by the way i have an ipod touch 4

    If it is still under warranty take it to an Apple Store, or in any case call AppleCare (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 for list of international phone numbers) to see if they can help you. They may be able to help you with repairs if it is a physical problem with the home button.

  • Why are first connections slow and subsequent ones very slow or won't connect?

    Since upgrading initial connections are often slow and subsequent connections very slow or won't connect. I have had to revert to Internet explorer which works fine!

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    You can try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
